Udinese fullback Nahuel Molina has emerged on the radar of a Serie A top dog ahead of the 2022/23 season. The South American defender is reportedly liked by Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri, as per Argentine news portal TYC Sports (via Il Bianconero).
Molina has racked in regular minutes at Udinese under caretaker manager Gabriele Cioffi and shows no signs of slowing down. According to the emerging reports, Molina is seen as a successor to Brazilian left wingback Alex Sandro, although he displays his strengths through his versatility.

As someone who can function on both flanks as a wingback and also further up the field as a proper winger, Molina has reportedly been on the radar of the Bianconeri for quite some time now. However, the Turin giants aren’t the only ones keeping tabs on him.
Spanish giants Atletico Madrid are also contenders for the signature of the Argentine, whose contract in Udine expires only in the summer of 2026. It leaves the north-easterners with the freedom to quote their price, albeit his transfermarkt value lying around the €10m mark.
The Boca Juniors youth product has an impressive 10 goal contributions (7 goals and 3 assists) in 29 appearances this season for the Friuli.
